A very old friend

Came by today

'cause he was telling everyone in town

About the love he just found

And marie's the name of his latest flame



He talked and talked

And I heard him say

That she had the longestblackest hair

The prettiest green eyes anywhere

And marie's the name of his latest flame



Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luckand then he said goodbye

He was gonebut still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry



Would you believe that yesterday

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

She'd be mine eternally

And marie's the name of his latest flame



Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luckand then he said goodbye

He was gonebut still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry



Would you believe that yesterday

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

She'd be mine eternally

And marie's the name of his latest flame



And marie's the name of his latest flame

And marie's the name of his latest flame
